Upon first listen of Paolo's latest offering, Sunny Side Up, many would think he has left his folk style background behind him. But give it chance and from behind the undeniable Reggae beats shines his own roots. 10/10 opens up the album with grand fan-fayre and develops into a tune that leaves no uncertainty about what is still to come.
Coming Up Easy has become 2010's Festival highlight with Paolo including it in setlist's for his appearances and many other acts choosing to cover the song in their sets, including UK pop/hip-hop artist Plan B. Pencil Full of Lead also shines as a key track from this successful album, if not for its feel good charm, then definitely for its uncanny resemblance to tracks from Disney's Jungle Book!
Chamber Music, Worried Man & Keep Rolling offer a nice step back that showcases the raw Paolo, stripped of all pretense and ego, there is a real sense of emotion from within these tracks.
The next album is eagerly anticipated.
